Regressing to the mean since 2015, it's the Hockey PEDEOCast with your host, Dmitri

Filipovich.

Welcome to the Hockey PEOCast. My name is Amitra Filipovich. And joining me is my buddy John Mattis. John, what's going on, man?

Not a whole lot. Just getting through that first day after the deadline minus the weekend.

Still trying to process things, which obviously sets up well for what we're about to tackle.

Yeah, it does. First show post-edline for me as well. I had a bit of a chance here over the weekend to reflect, tie up loose ends, see where we're at. You know, the dust has settled a little bit,

although I still would like to see more games with some of these guys on their new teams to

to really get our sea legs. But it's been a while since we did a mailback here on the

PDO guys just because we were so busy over the past week or two with kind of like more

pressing trade stuff. So now we have the benefit of taking a step back and answering some

listener questions and having some fun the way we're doing previously.

So that's the plan for today.

We've asked the listeners to come through with questions.

They've delivered.

We've picked five or six of our favorite ones that I think allow us to cover the most ground.

And so we're going to get into it.

So here's the first question from Kyle.

Kyle asks, who is the odd man out on D in Boston?

And the reason why this is an interesting question is because they've played five games

now since acquiring Demetri O'Law from the Washington Capitals prior to the deadline.

And they're kind of left with seven NHL defensemen that I think they'd ideally like to play.

So they've been basically alternating who sits in game one after the trade.
